Description
๐ Explore
Investigate how charge and distance control the electric force between two objects.
๐ฎ Try It
Change each charge from negative to positive and drag a sphere to vary the separation. Compare the Macro and Atomic Scale modes. Show the ruler and switch the force readout between decimal and scientific notation.
๐ฏ Your Mission
Keep both charges fixed and find two separations where one force is about four times the other. Predict the second distance first, then test with the readout.
๐ Real-World Connection
Electrostatic force causes static cling and helps control charged particles inside electronic devices.
